I work with adults and have specific experience in anxiety, depression, disordered eating, divorce and relationship issues, loss and grief, menopause and parenting.
I believe that our experience of the world is profoundly affected by power and privilege, so factors such as how we experience our race, culture, sexuality, gender identity, socio-economic background, neurodiversity, physical wellbeing and many other factors all shape our identity and experience – who we are and how we feel.

I specialise in eating disorders, emotional eating, body image, body dysmorphia, compulsive exercise, perfectionism and self-worth.
Perhaps you’ve spent years trying to change something about yourself — your body, your eating, your habits or your confidence — but still don’t feel good enough.

I'm a BACP-accredited psychotherapist and eating disorder specialist (NCFED Master Practitioner), trained in CBT and Hypnotherapy, with 14 years in practice.
You may feel capable and organised in most of your life, yet food is the one place things quietly unravel. Mornings start with good intentions; by evening you're eating in a way that doesn't match what you want, and tomorrow you begin again.
Struggles with food are rarely about willpower — and rarely only about feelings. In midlife, as hormones shift and what used to work stops working, eating gets tangled up with dopamine, ADHD traits and a nervous system that never quite rests. Or the food noise has gone quiet on a GLP-1, and the old patterns are still underneath.

Her clinical expertise extends to treating eating disorders and complex trauma presentations.
Trauma is often rooted in relationships, which means we benefit to experience trusting interactions to repair the original wound or to repair the destruction that may be caused by the addiction itself. My intent is to offer understanding, insight and a relationship in which you feel safe enough to begin exploring some of these things.

You may look successful, capable and in control from the outside, yet privately struggle with intimacy, sexuality or relationship patterns that feel confusing or difficult to change. Perhaps you find yourself caught in cycles of compulsive sexual behaviour, sexual anxiety, shame, painful intimacy, erectile difficulties, changes in desire, or relationships that repeatedly leave you feeling disconnected or alone. Often these difficulties are rarely isolated issues. They are shaped by biological factors, psychological history, attachment patterns, cultural context, and lived experience.

Eating Disorders Counsellors
What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviours, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behaviour affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counselling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioural disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behaviour, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognise they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behaviour has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
